Double names on Steemit ?! No ! :) - A response to some 0.3 BTC lost.

Sooo.. have been kinda' inactive on Steem for a while...

I was watching Hive account@crypt0's Vlog and he mentioned Steemit , so I decided to check on my account and upvote him.

After checking my wallet and noticing a weird transaction , I received 379.954 SBD , I was like " Oh great - How did that happen ?"

It turns out someone else managed to make a Steemit account with the same display name as my account name.
The user with display name Cryptoninja and owner of Steem account Hive account@crpytoninja.

I can understand how this might get confusing and I want to let anyone reading this post know ( if you don't already do ) that the display name and the account name are two very different things. You need to send coins to your Steem account , NOT your Steem account display name.

Sure I would have made the same mistake one day , Hive account@crpytoninja probably saved me some coins.

I have sent you your SBD back my Steemit "name twin" :)

Welcome to Steem and enjoy your investment !
